Last year I remarked that iTunes store and iPod was the major money 
maker for Apple. I said this on the PCI list. There was a great cry 
against this statement.  By now it should be obvious to everyone.

The stock has tripled since then.

It's called Linux, like Darwin is to OS X. They have Gnome and KDE but
nothing like Aqua.

If enough Winteler's compare apples to apples they would realize the value
of the mini, Wait a minute that would require the majority of them to be
capable of rational thought!

they might switch to the mac side too.

I read last week. This is very OT btw, but the tie between HP and 
Apple may be the tip of the wedge in some new relationships in the 
Apple/PC world. It started with this article:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1340996/posts
which speaks of the author's impression that microsoft is rotting. 
Since Apple obviously isn't, given the success of the Mini, the Ipod 
and Itunes and OS X, then maybe some former PC partners may be jumping 
ship. Longhorn is very delayed. OS X just keeps getting better and 
better. Apple hardware is getting cheaper, if the Mini is a trend, so 
maybe, just maybe Apple is poised to take over the home PC world.

Will we see OS X on PCs? Is there an Apple in everyone (elses) future? 
One of  three computer teams is very dead right now, and under attack 
from hackers all over the world. The other two, Apple and Linux are 
doing quite well. Is all of this a sign of things to come? Where the 
heck is Nostradamus when we need him? I predict that in a year or two, 
microsoft will be a very different company than it is now and Apple 
will be a very large player on the world computing stage.
